Archdiocese of Baltimore spokesman Sean Caine released the following statement regarding Small's arrest:

"Terrence Smalls, a former volunteer at the Church of the Nativity in Timonium, was arrested yesterday on charges of child sex abuse. Mr. Smalls began volunteer work with the church in 2010 and was involved in various children’s programs. On December 2, 2016, after being given permission by the Police to do so, the Church of the Nativity sent an email to its parishioners indicating that a volunteer was under investigation by Baltimore County Police after an allegation of sexual abuse with a minor had arisen earlier that week. In the email, people with additional information were asked by the parish to contact Baltimore County Police."The Archdiocese and the Church of the Nativity have been cooperating with authorities since they immediately reported the matter on November 27, 2016. They appreciate the work of the Baltimore County Police in this matter. All Archdiocesan volunteers who work with children are screened for criminal histories and the national sex offender registry, and go through training on how to recognize, prevent, and report child abuse. Mr. Smalls went through this process in 2010 and again in 2015."The Archdiocese of Baltimore and the Church of the Nativity are committed to protecting children and helping to heal victims of abuse. We urge anyone who has any knowledge of any child sexual abuse to come forward and to report it immediately to civil authorities."

Iowa school board member facing

child sex abuse charges resigns

Webster City police said Tuesday a school board member faces

child sex abuse charges

Laura Terrell, Anchor/Reporter

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa —Paul Steven Stenger, 64, of Webster City is charged with lascivious acts with a child and second-degree sexual abuse.

On Thursday, the Webster City Community School District received a letter of resignation from Stenger dated December 5, 2016. According to the board, the resignation is effective immediately and does not require Board action.

Webster City police said Stenger's arrest stems from an ongoing investigation into allegations made against him involving an individual under the age of 18.

According to court documents, the victim told police the abuse happened on several occasions over the last two years.

“Nothing is easy when you are dealing with a kid as a victim, so everybody steps up and we do everything we can,” Webster City police Chief Shiloh Mork said.

Stenger has been a school board member for Webster City Community Schools since September of 2015. The school board represents 1,650 students.

“I think it's always concerning where you have someone who has put themselves in a position where they have access to children,” said Keri Holmes Rojas, who has grandchildren in the Webster City school district.

Superintendent Mike Sherwood said he is shocked by the charges and has no reason to believe Stenger abused any other children. Sherwood said Stenger’s interaction with students would have been limited.

“We take the safety of our children very seriously and always will,” Sherwood said. “And anytime we have any indication of anything that would be wrongdoing concerning a student or a child, we address it.”

Police said their investigation shows this is an isolated incident, but they will continue to investigate.

“I have nothing to indicate that he has used his position on the school board to target children or select victims, so to speak,” Mork said.

Rojas said she is glad the child, in this case, told someone they trusted.

“I think it's important to let kids know that if they are afraid to raise their voice and they come and just whisper it to us, we'll raise our voice for them,” Rojas said.

Sexual abuse in the second-degree is a class B felony punishable by imprisonment of up to 25 years. Lascivious acts with a child is a class C felony punishable by imprisonment of up to 10 years and a fine of up to $10,000.

BOYTON BEACH, Fla. —On Wednesday night, a sheriff’s deputy responded to a local hospital in reference to a sexual battery case.

The child told the deputy that Elvin Benitez-Lopez, 38, had been sexually assaulting her since she was 9 years old.

Benitez-Lopez told investigators that sometime after Halloween he had "a moment of weakness" with the child, but that it only happened once.

How about 2 years of weakness!

Benitez-Lopez is charged with sexual battery and impregnation of a child.

Prayer

“There is nothing thrilling about a labouring man’s work, but it is the labouring man who makes the conceptions of the genius possible; and it is the labouring saint who makes the conceptions of his Master possible.

You labour at prayer and results happen all the time from God’s standpoint. What an astonishment it will be to find, when the veil is lifted, the souls that have been reaped by you, simply because you had been in the habit of taking your orders from Jesus Christ.”
